Customers are saying

Customers love the R1280T Powered Bookshelf Speakers for their amazing sound quality and clean bass. Many appreciate the speakers' ease of use, perfect size for desks, and appealing appearance. The inclusion of a remote control is also a favorite feature. The only drawback mentioned is the absence of Bluetooth connectivity.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Sounds good and looks good on any desk setup. I am taking one star away for the lack of bass. If you like bass like I do, then these speakers aren't for you.

    I had recently perchased an inexpensive record player. It had built in speakers but were pretty crapppy as id expected them to be at the price point I'd purchased it at. These speakers are a really dood upgrade to the sound!

    I use these as speakers for playing record, and they're fantastic. They're not doing to knock the walls down, but a really good value.

    Everything was included to setup the speakers to hook up to a computer. Very surprised with the power of the speakers. Very loud and heavy on the bass which I prefer.

    Decent enough if you are looking to upgrade a desktop speaker setup. For that, these are really great, maybe a bit lacking in clarity/ slightly muddy at higher volumes, but when in close proximity they get the job done at low to mid volume.
